My foray into television began when I started producing and presenting Infotainment weekly, a

Fashion is a breath of fresh air.  Be it a geometrically cut out outfit, a deeply rooted traditional attire, a hip hop infused creative vest or just plain tees and a pair of jeans, exuding the right amount of confidence is all it takes to bring about a revolution.
